Haul: Avène

Finally, I've got to try Avène products.

I bought  Avène Starter Kit for normal to combination skin. This starter kit only costs me rm29.90, it's a good bargain considering I've got the chance to try 4 products.

• Thermal Spring Water, 50ml
• Hydrance Light Hydrating Cream, 5ml
• Gentle Toner, 25ml
• Gentle Gel Cleanser, 25ml

Inside the kit also has face mask, 15+ pcs

I'm using all the products now except the face mask. So far, I'm loving it and it didn't give my face breakout. I've only used it 1 week and I will decide whether to buy the full size products or not when the sample finish.

Sa Sa Haul!

I went to 1B last weekend and surprised to see theBalm on their racks. I chose two items from TheBalm and 1 box fake eyelashes.

My haul from Sa Sa

1) MNK Accent False Eyelash rm9.90

Mink Accent Eyelash, @rm9.90

This demi lashes looks pretty natural on me. Since I found out about demi lashes from YouTube, I really wanted one for myself because those thick full lashes looks very unnatural. Because of that, I don't like to wear them. Right now, I'm wiling to spend more money to buy good lashes rather than to buy cheap lashes where you can get rm5 per box (contains 10 lashes).


2) TheBalm Boy's Blush - DownBoy, rm55.25 (15% discount - rm65)

I like the packaging, very vintage.

I feel like I want to have all theBalm products just because of their vintage style packaging.

So many men, so little time.... :D

Sa Sa have three of theBalm blushers, I got this pink blusher because the other two is either too dark for my skin or contained shimmer. This blusher is a matte finish and so pigmented, I only have to dab a little and it will give me a cute pink blushing ;p

I hope Sa Sa will get more of theBalm blushes in the future. I really love their product, it's not only about their packaging but also the product itself is worthy.


3) TheBalm Meet Matt(e) 9 Colours, rm84.15 (15% discount - rm99)

Meet Matt(e). 

Again, I love the packaging, simple and cute.

Gorgeous colours!  especially Mr. Matt Batali :)  All eyeshadows is MATTE! 

Ooo mmm geee.... This matte eyeshadows are super likeable! I've tried Matt Batali (lid), Matt Ramirez (crease) and Matt Smith (blending) the other day and that was the first time I think I look pretty in super purple dramatic look, ever. My Painterly Pot of course helping by popping the colour more on my eyes. Oh,  this palette doesn't have a highlighter eyeshadow, so I use MAC Shroom. 

Absolutely amazing and I'm going to buy this soon! (and I meant it soon..for a backup ;p)

And I got this tinted lip gloss for FREE :D

Plump Your Pucker tinted lip gloss in Cocoa My Coconut.
(the dark brown spots on the bottle is chocolate stains, ehem.. hehe)

The swatches.

Another, Ooo mmm gee... I love this tinted lip gloss! Why? the scents is like chocolate, every time I put it on my lips, I wanted to lick it so bad, like real bad.. the texture is quite creamy and smooth on my lips. When I use this, I feel like I'm walking with my lips covered with chocolate :D I definitely gonna buy this again!

MAC: Charged Water, Metallic & Paint Pot

What's in this bag?

Haul from MAC

I got myself three items from MAC. I think my purchase this time is really worth it. The bag is from Christmas theme bag last year, and I'm quite happy they still have this bag because I'm feeling festive again. It's like reminding me that Christmas isn't over yet? hehe.. 

Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist @rm93

New packaging.

The name and the packaging (bottle) is different now. Previously, it was known as Fix +, now changed to Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist (I prefer the previous name, sounds simple and professional). However, the packaging is nice and elegant. As you can see in the picture, the bottle has tiny gold sparkle in it. 

This charged water is one of my favourite product from MAC. I will continue to buy it in the future :)

Palladium @rm83

This colour eyeshadow, I think it's from special edition/collection - Christmas collection last year. They come out with three colours but I didn't buy it during that time. Now they have only two colour because the other one sold out, which is the colour that I wanted to get actually, it's the dark red tone. I chose this brown  tone  (kinda look like a silver in this picture) as usual :D

Paint Pot in Painterly  @rm70

The MAC s/a proposed me this colour as a starter.

My first paint pot ever!

Definitely I'm loving this! It didn't crease on me and absolutely made my eye shadows POP! :DD

Haul: Holika Holika

My first haul for Holika Holika, it's a Korean brand, just opened at Suria Sabah, I forgot which floor =__=

Mineral Aura Bijue in Pink Glow @rm69.90
Cream Shadow & Petite Liner @rm53.90
Magic Pole Mascara Waterproof @rm59.20

1. Mineral Aura Bijou in Pink Glow

Mineral Aura Bijue in Pink Glow @rm69.90. You can see my reflection there, lol! 

All that tiny little balls is so cuteee!

Ta-daa!

This is the first time I saw blusher like this. They have three colours and I chose Pink Glow because it's too cute! All those tiny round pink balls, the light blue yellow and white.. it's just irresistible.. I don't think I'm gonna wear this all the time because it's has shimmer in it, not for everyday looks.

I saw one of the pictures, where they sell this in Korea, the price shown in that picture was only ₩13,000, if converted to rm is only rm36! That's a lot of difference, almost twice! One of these days, I'm going to Korea and buy a lot of their products >__> I wonder when..

2. Cream Shadow & Petite Liner

Cream Shadow & Petite Liner @rm53.90. Unique packaging. 

I love the light blue shade.

There the petite liner.

This is how long the liner is.

Again, I chose this product among others because of the unique packaging. I'm suck when I saw something cute and unique. I gotta have it!


3. Magic Pole Mascara

Magic Pole Mascara Waterproof @rm59.20. I like the box, it's triangle box and opened up like this.

I chose the waterproof, the purple box is only water resistant.

The wand.

Upclose with the wand. Super unique.

I'm in love with the wand. If I'm not mistaken they have two type of mascara using this kind of wand. The purple box which is quite popular is water resistant. I got the kinda silver blue box, the waterproof mascara. I must use waterproof mascara because my eyes structure will makes me like a panda by the end of the day. 

EXTRA:

The s/a gave me this calendar 2012. 

The s/a also gave these two samples, Water March & Blossom Essence.

I become a member of Holika Holika by paying membership for rm20 and it's a lifetime membership. You get 10% discount of the product you buy. I applied on the spot and got discount for rm18.30 from the total of my purchase, that's mean I only pay less than rm2 for the membership. 

It's worth imo, better be member today if you love Holika Holika products!

Estee Lauder: Michael Kors Christmas Collection

YaY! I got myself Michael Kors collection!!

There are three choices of makeup collection and I picked the soft tone (medium) makeup. The other two is more to the pink tone and dark brown tone. This collection worth @rm200, quite cheap right! but there is catch in it!

The makeup set inside

I really love the gold theme! and the makeup set too, I'm very lucky to have the makeup set come together with the theme colour that I like the most among the three.

This makeup bag was design by Michael Kors. Apart from the gold colour theme for this makeup set, the other two are silver (pink tone) and greyish black (darker brown tone).

I feel like rich people having this in my bag, lol!

This is the best I can get for the colour to show up, I really like the colour from second and third from bottom left side. It's soft pink and slightly dark chocolate. 

The lipstick is dark brown with gold specs

A bit surprised to see the colour of lipstick. It's dark brown with a gold specs in it. The makeup set is more to soft tone colour so that's why they made the lipstick more dramatic I think. Thanks goodness the lip gloss can toned down it a bit. Suitable to use when you are having party or just wanna have a glamorous dinner.

I haven't use this eye pencil because I have other waterproof eye pencil so I wanted to try that first.

Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Pencil @rm68

This lipstick pencil didn't come with the collection. I bought it separately. To buy the Michael Kors collection, you have to buy any item from Estee Lauder meaning, it's purchase with purchase package. At first the salesperson recommended me to buy the cheapest Estee Lauder product which is their sharpener at only rm15, so overall I only have to pay rm215. After looking around a bit, I was thinking that it's better to buy their other product rather than just a sharpener which I'm not gonna use it frequently (almost 0% usage). I chose the nearest colour to my lips and coincidentally, the lipstick colour in the collection is also quite the same, so it's really a very good choice, I think :)

My only qualm is these two brushes are not too good because the bristles are quite stiff and not easy to maneuver. Such a pity because the look and colour are such glamorous and pretty.

I did mentioned before this that if I ever found a waterproof pencil eyeliner, I'll buy it! and I did. I found this at Watson and it's from Elite brand, I never heard of them before but I just want to try it out. I already wear this twice and so far so good. The colour is pretty intense and it really can make your eyes pop out. I think I'm gonna keep this in my bag.

Pinky

Greeny. Lately, I have a soft spot for green :) Christmas probably?

Besides makeup, I bought two ehem ehem.. Pierre Cardine bra. I got these two bras @rm98, the normal price would be rm79++ for each! Quite a good bargain right :) This is by far the most expensive bra I ever have. The second expensive would be my Audrey where I got two bras for rm68 and I absolutely adore both of them, plus there are three different ways of wearing it.
